Wesleyan - Arminian / Holiness

The doctrine of Eternal Security is problematic to many believers, and Dr. Dale Yocum addresses the controversy in The Security of Holiness, a powerful series of sermons. He first lays the groundwork by refuting Darwinian evolution, the favored doctrine of people totally without hope of any security, both in this life and the next. (Watch for the one he names as the first evolutionist, and why he says so.) Setting forth Balaam as a prime example, he considers the fate of those who were once believers, but set aside their spiritual security in exchange for the phantom promises of this present world. He turns to an examination of unconditional eternal security as Calvinism teaches, but offers real hope by taking the position that although unconditional eternal security is unscriptural, there is a true, scriptural doctrine that ensures the security of the believer. He maintains that a life of holiness will guarantee, based on the promises of God’s Word, that the believer will be free from the guilt and power of sin in this life, and ultimately find a home in heaven. Along the way he considers the “why” and “wherefore” of entire sanctification, and the influence of a holy life. This is classic Yocum as so many loved him. Note: much of this material is also contained in With Peter by the Sea, although this volume has some different chapters and is altered in arrangement.
